UK Museums Face Cybersecurity Risks, MPs Warn

UK Parliament's Public Accounts Committee warns that the Department for Culture, Media and Sport has been reactive on cybersecurity for national galleries and museums, citing the British Library ransomware attack (which damaged servers and led to a 600GB data theft and £1.6m recovery costs) and museum thefts as evidence; the report calls for concrete DCMS-led actions, improved cyber-resilience, skills support, and sharing of lessons across the sector.
